Law 39:Stir up waters to catch fish

Anger and emotion is counterproductive

Stay calm and objective

Make enemies emotional while you stay calm

Rattle your enemies

Anger and emotion are strategically counterproductive. You must always stay calm and objective. But if you can make your enemies angry while staying calm yourself, you gain a decided advantage. Put your enemies off-balance: Find the chink in their vanity through which you can rattle them and you hold the strings.
